The United States Capitol was placed on lockdown Thursday afternoon after a woman tried to ram a car into the White House gate, was chased by Secret Service and exchanged shots with police, sources said.
The suspect — who sources said had a child in the car — was shot and killed, and a shelter-in-place order was lifted at about 3 p.m. At least one Capitol Police officer was injured during the pursuit.
"This appears to be an isolated incident," said Capitol Police Chief Kim Dine. "Both scenes are under control."

Re: Reported: Shots Fired at Capitol; Building on Lockdown

I kinda feel bad for whichever sharpshooter probably put her down. A car rams the gate at the White House, obviously you have to react as if there's a bomb in it and take them out immediately. Then later you find out is was just some woman who snapped and had her kid with her, who got to watch its mom go crazy and then get shot.

Also feel bad for the kid.

He touched her over her bra and underpants, she says, and guided her hand to touch him over his underwear

Re: Reported: Shots Fired at Capitol; Building on Lockdown

I don't think the political leanings of the victim can be judged as the motive.

She was obviously insane.

They usually are. Even when Adam Lanza went insane, the media was trying to figure out what the political influences were, in his life, in order to try and pin it on a political party.

If she's a conservative, she'll be portrayed as an evil Tea Partier that is out to destroy the government.

If she's a liberal, she'll be the victim of Republicans and their unwillingness to negotiate with Obama.

Just stay classy!
